Save buttons to buy players in the inventory in PlayFab,how do i use the loaded items from the inventory

and I don't find a good tutorial for my problem. I have several buttons with which players can buy different skins. I would like to save them in the inventory and load them back into the game. Whats the best way to do this?

After players purchase the items from Catalogs or Stores, PlayFab would add the corresponding item instances to the player’s Inventory. So you do not need to “save” them in the Inventory manually. Client API GetUserInventory can be used to retrieve the user’s current inventory of virtual goods and Client API ConsumeItem can be used to consume uses of a consumable item. You can click the links to check their API references.

Thank you for your prompt reply. Since I'm still a beginner in PlayFab and Unity, could you have given me a code example for both Api's?

It will take some time to code and test the sample. I will reply to you if we make some progress.
