How much does a CF live order system cost? Compare costs and plans before you choose

By Chayanin S. · CF-Shops team · Thailand's live-selling and CF capture system · 6 min read

Before choosing a CF capture system, most sellers first ask how much it costs. But the number on a pricing page doesn't tell the whole story. You also need to know how you are charged, what is included and whether it fits how often your shop goes live. This article covers what makes up the cost of a CF system, what to compare before deciding, every CF-Shops plan and price, and how to weigh the cost against the GP fees you already pay each month.

How CF systems charge

Most CF capture systems charge in one of two main ways. The first is pay-as-you-go, for example per item captured or per slip verified, which suits shops whose sales are not yet steady. The second is a flat monthly or yearly fee with unlimited capture, which pays off more the more often you go live. Beyond the plan price, check for hidden costs too, such as setup fees, charges for slips over the quota, broadcast fees or needing to hire someone to run the system, because these make the real monthly cost differ from the number on the pricing page.

Which plan to choose: look at how often you go live

1Live occasionally: choose Credit S, pay per item

If your shop goes live only some weeks, or you are just starting to sell on live, pay per item fits best. Top up 1,070 baht at a time and pay only for what you capture: 1 item captured uses 1 baht and 1 slip verified uses 1 baht, and the credit never expires. In a month without lives, you don't pay for nothing.

2Live most days: choose Monthly

Once you go live often enough that you capture a lot of items each month, the 2,899 baht Monthly plan gives you unlimited capture, 500 free slip checks and 12 free broadcasts. No need to watch your credit during a live, and slips over the quota cost only 0.20 baht each.

3Steady sales and regular lives: choose Yearly

If your shop goes live consistently all year, the 21,999 baht Yearly plan is the cheapest per month (21,999 ÷ 12 ≈ 1,833 baht), with 10,000 free slip checks and 100 free broadcasts. It suits shops that already know they will use the system for the long run.

4Not sure yet: start with the 7-day free trial

Run two or three real lives with the system, see how many items you capture and how many slips come in each time, then pick a plan based on your shop's real numbers. There is no setup fee, and you can sign up with your Facebook account.

What to compare besides price

1Capture from every channel you sell on

Most shops don't sell on just one channel. Check whether the system captures from TikTok Live (several accounts at once), Facebook Page Live, Group Live, User Live and Instagram Live, as well as Reels, posts and chat. If you need several separate systems, the real cost adds up.

2One shared stock across channels

When you go live on several channels at once, the system should deduct stock from one place, first come first served, so you never sell more than you have. Apologising for and cancelling oversold orders is a cost you don't see, but it loses real customers.

3Automatic slip verification built in

See whether the system verifies slips for you, whether it catches fake slips, duplicate slips and short payments, and how slip checks are charged. If you still have to pay an admin to check slips by hand, that labour is a hidden system cost.

4Shipping labels and tracking numbers included

A system connected to carriers such as J&T, Flash, KEX, SPX, Thailand Post, Best and SHIPPOP lets you print shipping labels and send tracking numbers to customers from one place, with no copying addresses between screens.

5Tools for closing sales after the live

Order summaries through LINE OA and Messenger, automatic payment reminders, broadcasts, COD, held orders and merged bills are what let you close every sale. A system that only captures comments may be cheaper, but the remaining work lands back on your admins.

6Setup fee, trial period and ease of use

Check whether there is a setup fee, whether you can try before you pay, and whether you need an IT team or special hardware. CF-Shops has no setup fee, a 7-day free trial, runs in the browser on one device and needs no IT team.

Is it worth it? Compare the system cost with the GP you pay

Shops selling through TikTok Shop or marketplaces typically pay total GP, meaning commission, transaction and service fees, of roughly 22–30% of each sale. The real figure varies by category, campaign and each platform's policy. Sales you move to close yourself in your own live through CF capture are not subject to platform commission, and the money goes straight into your shop's account.

An estimate for illustration: if a shop sells 300,000 baht a month and pays around 26% GP, that is 78,000 baht a month, compared with 2,899 baht for the Monthly plan. This figure is only an estimate to show the scale. What you actually save depends on how much of your sales you can move to close yourself, and you still need to account for your own shipping and packing costs.

Frequently asked questions

What is the starting price of the CF-Shops CF system?

You can start with pay per item: top up 1,070 baht of credit at a time, where 1 item captured uses 1 baht and 1 slip verified uses 1 baht, and the credit never expires. If you go live often, there is the 2,899 baht Monthly plan and the 21,999 baht Yearly plan with unlimited capture. All prices include VAT.

Is there a setup fee or any hidden cost?

There is no setup fee. The only extra cost that may come up is slip checks beyond the free quota on the Monthly or Yearly plan, at 0.20 baht per slip. With pay per item, credit is deducted only for the items you actually capture and the slips you actually verify.

What is the difference between Monthly and Yearly?

Both include unlimited capture. They differ in price and quotas. Monthly is 2,899 baht with 12 free broadcasts and 500 free slip checks. Yearly is 21,999 baht, about 1,833 baht a month, with 100 free broadcasts and 10,000 free slip checks, and suits shops that go live steadily all year.
