I'm trying to build a site that has a members directory.
Members sign up via WooCommerce Memberships/Subscriptions.
While their subscription is active, they have access to a form to create/update their profile for the directory.

I looked at a few tutorials for CRED commerce, but it looked like if you just give access to a form to members they'll be able to submit it infinite times, or they'll have to pay each time. I don't want people to buy it and I don't want people to be able to create multiple profiles. Only edit their existing profile (and lose access when their WooCommerce subscription is over). Is there a way to accomplish this?

Additionally, to avoid double data entry, I'm wondering if it's possible to pre-populate fields with the data they entered during checkout to create their account (no use asking for their name twice)?

Does anyone else here have experience trying to set something similar up?

Dear gabriel,

How do you setup the user profile? Is it a custom post type or custom user fields?
If it is custom user fields, you can setup a CRED form for editing users, then your users will be able to edit their own profile, see our document:
Front-end User Registration and Editing Forms
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/cred-user-forms/

If it is a custom post type, you can try with CRED action hook "cred_save_data" to pre-populate the field values:
