# Buying Paywall Subscriptions
Subscribing to a paywall involves two steps:
* Buying a subscription
* Activating the subscription
When not activated, subscription is not started and a 1 month subscription can be kept for multiple months before being activated. This can enable investors to invest on paywalls by buying (but not activating) multiple subscriptions from those paywalls and waiting till the subscription price to those paywalls appreciates to sell the previously bought subscriptions on the secondary market to users willing to get a cheaper subscription to the paywall.
### Buying A Subscription
* Find and expand the paywall you are willing to subscribe to
* Select the Subscription option you wish to purchase (if your paywall has options). In the image below, we are choosing to buy one monthly subscription
* Click on the **Buy Subscription** button, fill in and validate the form. You can purchase subscriptions directly with your wallet, through the stake market or through a Valuepool/DAO. The guides on how to proceed in each case are available in the products/services section.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.payswap.org/products/cancan/paywalls/buying-paywall-subscriptions.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
