Using Ceylon Chat: Profiles, Business Profiles & Credits
11. How do I create and set up my profile?
Answer: After you register, click your avatar (top right) and choose “Profile”, then “Edit”. From there you can: add a profile photo and cover photo, fill in your name, bio, and other personal details, and choose your privacy settings for each field. Changes save immediately and are visible to other members straight away. You can update your profile at any time.
12. How do I create a Business Profile?
Answer: A Business Profile is a special account type for shops, companies, consultants, and service providers. It displays an orange “Business” badge on your profile and in the Members directory, and eligible businesses may be featured in the “Featured Businesses” section on the homepage. To set one up:
1. Register a normal Ceylon Chat account first (or use your existing one).
2. Contact our support team at support@ceylonchat.com and ask to have your account switched to the “Business” member type.
3. Once switched, go to Profile → Edit and complete the new “Business Details” section: Business Name, Category (e.g. Retail, Restaurant, Consultants), Phone, Website, Address, Opening Hours, and an About description.
4. Tick the required “I agree to the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy” checkbox — this must be checked before the Business Details can be saved.
5. Save your profile. Your Business badge and directory listing appear right away.
Business Profiles are only for genuine businesses, consultants, and service providers. Accounts that misuse the Business badge may have it removed — see our Terms & Conditions.
13. How does the Credits & Points system work?
Answer: Ceylon Chat rewards you with Credits for being active on the platform. You earn Credits automatically for things like: logging in (100), publishing an activity post (100), commenting on a post (100), joining a group (100), having a friend request accepted (50), and accepting someone else’s friend request (20). As your Credit total goes up, you automatically unlock collectible badges (for example Happy Rock, Rocket, Target, Trending, King, and more) which display on your profile for other members to see.
You can check your current Credit balance and see every badge (earned and not-yet-earned) any time on your Badges & Rewards page, or in the sidebar of your own profile.
