Registration and Profile
1. Can users edit their profile from frontend?
Yes, this is a built in feature of WP User Frontend Pro. Users can edit their complete profile including changing profile pictures from frontend. Even the custom fields will appear on the frontend profile!

Yes, WP User Frontend has built in feature for charging the users while signing up. But this system charges the user for creating posts, NOT for just signing up on your site. If you want to charge your users for registering and creating posts differently, then it is not possible. You have to custom code it by hiring a developer.

Yes, logged in users can update their profile picture from edit profile page that contains profile form shortcode.
