Lovable auto-configures Supabase. Refine the schema, add RLS policies, and create database functions for business logic.
Integrate Stripe Checkout and customer portal. Lovable can generate the pricing page; wire up the webhook handler for subscription events.
Use Resend for welcome emails, password resets, and billing receipts. Configure email templates with your brand.
