Can I create a standing order form with log-in for up dates?

  1. I need to create a standing order form for yearly re-occurring orders with submissions saved in a database that can export data. A person would be able to log-in at any time and make changes to their contact info or to update the order. Orders would be pulled yearly from data base and shipped. Is this possible?

    The hard part is the log-in and make changes to their information. There is currently no built-in way to give people access to just their own entry. There are some people working on front-end editing, or re-loading saved content back to a form to be able to edit it, but they are very technical and complex to implement.

    Search through the forum for: front end editing and you'll see the number of people looking for similar things.

    A third party add-on that recently came out might be able to help you with this. Check it out and contact the author to see if it could be easily adapted for what you want:
