How TikTok Live comment capture works
TikTok Live comment capture is a tool that reads product-code comments from your TikTok live in real time, turns them into orders and deducts stock automatically. Sellers no longer have to sit and write down codes one comment at a time, and can close sales faster even when viewers are typing non-stop.
Turn on TikTok Live comment capture step by step
1Sign up and connect your account
Sign up for CF-Shops and connect the account you go live with. You only do this once: the system remembers your account for future lives, so there is no need to set it up again each time.
2Link your TikTok live to the system
Paste the link or enter the TikTok account you are about to go live with, so the system recognises your live and can start reading comments the moment you go live. Several accounts can go live at the same time.
3Set product codes and prices
Enter product codes (such as A1, B2) with prices and stock quantities. When customers type a code in your live, the system matches it to the product you set up and creates the order automatically.
4Go live and let comment capture create orders for you
Once you are live, customers comment with product codes and the system captures those comments to create orders and deduct stock in real time. First to type gets the item, and sellers do not have to write anything down.
5Close sales, verify slips and ship
After the live, the system totals the sales for you, verifies slips automatically, and lets you generate tracking numbers and print shipping labels in one place. The sale is closed end to end, from comment to parcel.
