iiuc this is a very similar design to how Mullvad accepts payments[0] except that they have a token used to pay multiple merchants.

I would look at how they basically maintain minimal tables of payments which can be used to pay for service. Taler is more complex to handle being a 3rd party doing this, but Mullvad seems to do a similar idea of separating payment from the account itself to allow for anonymous payment.
