What is the difference between kaufen and zahlen?

Main Post:

I’m going through Duo courses and they seem to be interchangeable. Do they both mean to buy? Or to pay for? Are there any contexts you’d use one and not the other?

Kaufen is to buy

Why does the verb kaufen goes at the end of the sentence here?

Top Comment: Unlike in English, in German, the finite verb usually goes to the second position of the sentence and all other verbs go to the end. The finite verb is the conjugated verb (i.e. not a gerund, past participle, or infinitive). In imperatives and questions, however, the finite verb comes first. Since kaufen is an infinitive, it has to go to the end, while muss comes second because it is a conjugated form of müssen.
