Vimeo On Demand closes on 20 November 2026
Move your paid videos before Vimeo On Demand closes.
Vimeo stopped new On Demand sales on 21 September and shuts the service down on 20 November 2026. Keep selling from your own website: Onveo hosts the video privately and your WooCommerce store handles checkout and access.

What changes when you move
Your store. Your customers. Your video rules.
Sell from your own website
Checkout runs in your WooCommerce store. Onveo takes no commission on your sales; your payment provider's fees apply.
A personal link for every buyer
Each buyer gets a signed playback link valid for 1–24 hours. Copied links and embeds stop working.
Keep your customer relationship
Orders, e-mails and access live in your store — not inside a platform that can close.
Four steps to move
- 01
Download your originals
Your source files stay in your Vimeo account. Download the masters you sell.
- 02
Upload to Onveo
Upload them as private videos. Onveo prepares adaptive streams for every device.
- 03
Rebuild your catalogue
Install the WordPress plugin, create courses or single-video products in WooCommerce.
- 04
Bring your buyers back
Grant existing buyers access with the access manager and send them their new link.
Moving from Vimeo On Demand
Do I need my own website?
Yes. Onveo sells through your WordPress + WooCommerce store. If you don't have one yet, tell us about your catalogue and we'll talk through the setup.
Can my existing buyers keep watching?
Their Vimeo access ends on 20 November 2026. On your store you can grant them access manually with the access manager; for long buyer lists, talk to us.
What about Vimeo OTT?
Vimeo recommends Vimeo OTT, which charges per subscriber on top of payment fees. Onveo is the option if you'd rather sell from your own WordPress store.
How much does Onveo cost?
Pricing depends on your storage, viewing volume and live needs. Contact us for a quote.
How fast can I move?
It depends on catalogue size. Most of the work is downloading and re-uploading masters; start early so buyers aren't left without access.
Don't wait for 20 November.
Tell us how many titles and buyers you have. We'll help you plan the move.
