Troubleshooting purchases

If you aren’t able to access a title you bought, a few things may have happened with your purchase:

Has the rental period expired? Check the title’s rental period on its Vimeo On Demand page in case your rental period ended.

Is it possible that you purchased the film under a different Vimeo account? In order to access your purchase, you must be logged in to the same Vimeo account you used to purchase the title originally. If you think you need help accessing the account you used to make your purchase, let Vimeo know and they can help out.

The charge may be pending. If your billing statement doesn’t indicate that the charge went through successfully yet, it’s possible that the charge is still awaiting authorization. In this case, if the charge doesn’t go through successfully, it will eventually clear from your billing statement.

Your payment method may have failed. If Vimeo aren’t able to charge your payment method successfully, then your purchase won’t go through, and you’ll need to try making the purchase again.

If you have questions about the status of your purchase, contact Vimeo so they can take a look at their end.
