When will I get my money?

"The date of your next withdrawal is shown at the top of your dashboard. Once a withdrawal is initiated, it typically takes 2-5 business days for the funds to appear in your bank account. Withdrawals are marked "Processing" before we've sent the money to your bank account.  In some situations, we may review your account before sending your withdrawal. This process typically takes up to two business days. You can see an estimate of when you should expect to see funds in your bank account by clicking on Previous Withdrawals in your payment dashboard." (https://support.wepay.com/hc/en-us/articles/203609703-When-will-I-get-my-money-) 

What are the fees to accept credit and debit card payments?

The processing fees are taken from the full order transaction amount and depend on the UltraCart Plan you use.
