isn’t this terrible for the users who tries to pay and it fails? seems like you would only want to do this in the offline case, but accept any + redeem to lightning for everything else

It’s very transparent.

> server verifies the token and responds with resource

All of this can be automated. If the user does not have a matching token, the wallet will do an automatic mint->mint swap. It’s pretty seamless

Ah nice thats the key bit that makes this work. If the wallet can support this swap automatically then great! very cool.
