How do I add accounts, a database, and payments to my vibe-coded app?

Most builders now come with the backend built in: Lovable's built-in backend adds a database, sign-in and file storage as soon as you ask for them, and Replit and Base44 do the same. Supabase is the usual choice when you want a backend you connect and own, and Stripe is how almost everyone takes payments, wired in from a prompt. You do not need to understand Postgres; you do need to know the concepts, one table per kind of thing, row-level rules for who sees what, and secret keys that never live in the frontend.
