Is it even possible to get paying users for a SaaS subscription before it’s built?

I am building an a business management (erp) + e-commerce platform. So product is quite complex as users need own subdomain etc. I’m suffering from the my MVP is too big problem. Code is already looking like a nightmare being monolith. Would need to be microservice to actually be maintainable.

It’s not possible to collect money from end users when product isn’t done yet, right? Like it would be impossible for Netflix to charge people monthly subscription for a future video streaming platform that would be ready in a couple years I’m thinking. Seems like a massive liability to deliver on time too.

Because I have just been having my head down building out business logic.
