On Bitcoin it counts once it has 2 confirmations, which takes about 20 minutes. Your share is forwarded to your wallet within a minute or two after that.
Yes, one you control. You give its address once on your payment settings page and every Bitcoin payment is forwarded there. VeliraPay never needs your keys.
Your customer pays the fee for sending their payment. Sending costs whatever the network charges at the time, from cents to a few dollars when it is busy. Passing the payment on to you costs a second fee, which comes out of the platform fee as far as that covers it and otherwise out of the payment. The exact figure is recorded on every payout.
A shortfall within the tolerance you set still counts as paid, and anything bigger can be topped up while the rate is locked or accepted by you from the charge page. A payment that arrives up to 3 hours after the charge expired is still recorded, for you to accept.
Yes. Test mode takes payments on Bitcoin testnet3, so you can go through a whole payment without spending real coins.
