How to Buy & Rent Movies & Shows from Amazon
- Open Safari.
- Navigate to the Amazon website.
- Make sure you’re logged in to your account!
- Search for the movie or show you want to watch.
- Select your preferred buying or rental option.
- Now, you can open the Prime Video app to watch your purchases.
It’s worth noting that for TV shows and most new release movies, you’ll only have the option to buy. If the movie you’re dying to watch isn’t available to rent yet, check back in after a few days; chances are good it will be added soon!
