"Just a couple of hours, (--) and you will see her happy."
"Visit our website, place your order, make a payment, (--) and our prifessional writers will get down to work"
Shall I use a comma or a long dash here?

For formal writing, use a comma. For informal writing, some people like dashes and some people don't. My opinion is that if you use a lot, they can be a bit irritating to the reader and even give the impression that you can't express yourself well without them.
