Prime Video enables you to sell your content with multiple monetization options. Choices include making titles available at no additional charge for Amazon Prime members, available for rental, available for purchase, or as part of a channel.

Note: A title’s metadata language determines the locations to which it can be published. For supported languages by location, see Location Requirements.

Change a standalone title

1. In Your Videos, on the Standalone tab, click the title.
2. On the Availability tab, select in which territories and how you want make this title available to Amazon customers.

   Note: If you uncheck a previously published territory, the title becomes unavailable except for prior purchases. The title detail page remains live. The process to make a title unavailable might take up to four hours after updates are published.

   Prime

   Amazon Prime is a paid membership. Prime Video is included with a Prime membership. As a member, viewers will be able to watch your content at any time across all devices.

   Rent

   Rentals give customers 30 days from their purchase to start watching, and a 48-hour window to watch after the video begins playing. After the rental period ends, the title automatically leaves the customer’s video library.

   Buy

   Purchased titles can be watched as many times as the customer wants on Prime Video supported devices.

   Note: Unpublishing or deleting videos doesn’t remove viewing rights from customers who have purchased videos.

   Paid Channels

   Titles can be offered through a channel. You can create one U.S.-based channel per account. A channel must contain a minimum of 200 standalone titles or 50 seasons and remain available for a minimum of 18 months. Titles included in a channel aren’t eligible to be included with Prime in the United States.

   If you select Rent or Buy, you're asked to choose between Preset pricing and Custom pricing (advanced). Preset pricing includes Value, best for older and back catalog videos, and Base, best for balancing cost with wide audience appeal.

   Note: Amazon reserves the right to change prices.

3. You can choose individual availability windows for each territory where you are making your title available. Click the three dots to specify availability windows.
   As soon as possible (ASAP)
