Hi, let me help you with this.
The main question, will the billing periods be the same? E.g. lasting a month and starting on the same day?

Since the user can take the subscription at anytime the fist month is prorated. After that all subscriptions are put on one invoice which are to be collected monthly.

Perfect. Then you can just update the existing Subscription with new items: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update

each subscription is currently defined as a unique product.

That's not correct. It's better to your products to Stripe Products and Prices, and then add them as extra line items to Subscriptions: https://stripe.com/docs/products-prices/how-products-and-prices-work

Sorry.. i am not following. In our case we have 500+ products (each a subscription of a video content channel). The user ( each a subscriber) can subscribe to one or more channels. In our case each subscription is defined as a product. The subscription can be subscribed to at any time. So, a subscriber can take a subscription on the 15th of July and the next subscription anytime (or at the same time.) . A unique promotional code can be applied to each subscription that gives subscriber between 1-12 months of free service. That all said, i want to send the user one invoice each month with all subscriptions they subscribed to. Some may be valued at zero dollars (becasue of hte promotional code) while other are full price.
It was suggested byt stripe that we construct each subscription type as a seperate product, which is different than your recommendation.

I think there's a wording misunderstanding.
You can create a single Stripe Subscription for a Stripe Customer with a set of Stripe Subscription Items, which are defined via Stripe Products/Prices. And later you can add more/remove Stripe Subscription Items from the Subscription, at any date, with a desired proration_behavior.

How would we manage discounts on each sub Subcritpion (Product) ?
bold elm
Please let's use Stripe terms to avoid confusion. You mean Subscription Item?
hoary plover
Yes...
bold elm
I understand, this is not possible currently. You can only add one coupon/promotion code to a Subscription object: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-coupon
I recommend you to calculate the discount amount on your side and just create and add one to the Subscription.
