Teachify

Teachify (開課快手) is a course platform from Kaik, Inc. (無為教育科技股份有限公司) for creators, companies, lecturers and consultants who want their own online course store rather than a listing on a course marketplace. The home page promises one place to build the website, connect payments, manage members and stream video, so the creator can concentrate on content and sales. The company's blog describes Teachify as a simple, easy-to-use course platform for Chinese-language creators and gives 2020 as its founding year, and the home page says more than 100 creators, businesses, lecturers and consultants have chosen it.

How the platform is positioned

Teachify's own blog sorts course platforms into two types. Consignment-style platforms host many instructors, can help with filming and marketing, and take a share of every order. Rental-style platforms, Teachify among them, charge a fixed monthly or annual fee and leave the creator a larger margin, but the creator does the promotion. The blog states this trade-off plainly: on a rental platform you sell under your own name and keep a complete student list, and you need some marketing ability, because nobody else brings the traffic. It even advises that a creator with expertise but no idea how to produce or market a course should not start on this kind of platform without outside help.

Teachify has no review gate. According to the blog, anyone can open courses freely, without an approval process, and the interface is in Chinese with an English-language version also available. The same guide argues that general e-commerce shop builders are a poor fit for courses, because they lack smooth video streaming and cannot hand the course to the buyer on the site right after payment.

Building the site

Registration is free, and the home page says a site is up within 30 seconds of signing up and choosing your address. A guided setup walks you through creating a course, setting up the site content and activating payments. You design the look yourself, from the site's appearance and brand colors to the sales pages, and changes made in the back end show up on the front end immediately. Testimonials on the home page come from people with no technical background who say they did every setting and integration themselves.

The home page lays the process out in four steps: register and pick your address, build the content, set prices and discounts and start selling, then spend your time on content and community. Video streaming is part of the platform alongside the website, payments and member management, so a course does not depend on a separately configured video host.

What you can sell

Teachify supports several kinds of content: video courses, image-and-text courses, digital products, live events and paid subscription columns of written articles. Digital files such as PDFs, spreadsheets and presentations can be sold as products. One testimonial, from the co-founder of 每日一錠數位內容, mentions flexible sales bundles, the payment service, full student data, custom visuals and the ability to attach consultations and live streams. Another, from the founder of 雷蒙三十, says Teachify let a Notion training camp run its own registration system instead of relying on a course platform's high commission.

Selling and payments

Pricing tools cover a custom price, a discounted price and an early-bird price, combined with time-limited and quantity-limited coupons and promotions. On payments, Teachify helps you apply for a payment gateway so you can open sooner, and buyers can start watching the content as soon as checkout completes. The blog explains why this matters for courses in particular: payment approval for online courses is stricter than for physical goods, and a course buyer expects to start watching on your site right after paying.

Teachify takes no commission on sales. If you want Teachify to handle payment processing and issue invoices, its optional Teachify Payments service charges 5% + NT$15 per order as a payment integration fee, according to the blog. The home page describes the platform's transaction fees as the lowest in the industry.

Course management and integrations

The course management tools cover publishing courses, managing students, managing assignments and course reports. Integrations listed on the home page are GA4, Facebook Pixel, Google Tag Manager, Zapier, ConvertKit and Zoom, and the stats section counts 12+ integration plugins for building automated workflows. The footer links to a product roadmap, a changelog, developer documentation, tutorials, an FAQ and success stories. Support is by email and through a LINE account, and several testimonials praise the team for fixing problems quickly.

Pricing and scale

Plans start at NT$800 a month, and the home page says you can upgrade or downgrade at any time with no contract. The blog describes the fee as a monthly or annual system charge, with plans chosen by the features you need. A free trial is offered from the home page, and the blog's advice for choosing any course platform is to try it first, judging both the admin experience and what students see, from navigation to smooth video playback and page loading speed.

The home page's stats section reports NT$300 million (新台幣 3 億) in cumulative transaction volume, more than 1,500,000 members served and 100,000+ uploaded videos.

The blog and resources

The Teachify blog publishes guides for course creators. Recent posts cover the records an experienced creator keeps after a launch, three reasons a course site built quickly with AI tools can crash on launch day (heavy traffic, plugin integrations and system architecture), tax filing for individual creators, and why the company thinks courses are moving toward a combination of course, challenge and community. Its platform guide warns that building a course site from WordPress plugins brings hidden costs in video hosting, payment approval, hosting, domains and maintenance, and links a case study of creators who keep their main site on WordPress but run their course platform on Teachify.

Who it suits

Teachify fits Chinese-speaking creators who already have an audience, whether lecturers, coaches, consultants, personal brands or education companies, and who want a course store under their own name without giving a share of each sale to a marketplace. The testimonials show the range: reference-book authors, a professional musician, a functional medicine education center with a large lecturer team, a productivity educator and HR and media consultants. The fixed monthly fee and zero commission make costs predictable as sales grow, and the guided setup suits someone without technical skills.

The trade-off, which Teachify's blog states itself, is that a rental platform leaves marketing to you. A creator still building an audience, or one who wants a platform to film and promote the course, is the reader that guide points elsewhere.
