When i buy an ipad, does the money I paid for it go directly to Apple?

i don't know anything about business + economics.

1. Say i buy an ipad air. When ii pay for it, where does that money go?

is the payment information sent to Apple, Inc?

does the money go to Apple's stocks or something?

2. And how does the company keep track of how many ipads have been sold in the US?

like in each individual state? Does every Apple store in a city have a way of communicating with Cupertino, CA?

if for example 1,000 ipads have been sold in Boston and New York City altogether, do the stores there communicate electronically with the headquarters in cupertino?

really curious on how this buying, selling and keeping track of everything works.
