We are using Drizzle ORM to work with the database. Go to database/schema.ts file to find all the table schemas we are using. You can add table schemas as you like. Make sure not to delete existing properties of tables like users, accounts, sessions, verification_token as they are required for our Auth.js library.
Now go to terminal and run the following commands:
npx drizzle-kit generate
npx drizzle-kit migrateWe are using Stripe for payment collection of our paid plans. Go to Stripe and set it up (if you don't know how, there are simple video tutorials on YouTube).
