9. Open **Activity** to view the purchase status.

|| Bitcoin transactions cannot be reversed. Confirm that the selected wallet belongs to you and is the correct destination before completing the purchase.

||| To automate future purchases, choose a recurring schedule instead of **One time** and keep enough CAD in your account balance before each scheduled purchase.

## What happens next?

The purchase amount is deducted from your CAD balance, and the bitcoin is sent directly to your selected self-custody wallet. On-chain delivery time depends on your selected transaction speed and current network conditions.
