I don't know the ecosystem, but seemingly Stripe themselves lists some projects/products/organizations that themselves have "Stripe" in their name, as part of the "Stripe Partner Ecosystem": https://stripe.partners/?search=stripe&sort=relevance
Still, risky to use someone else's trademark regardless, if they suddenly don't like you anymore they'll start to enforce it at the worst moment.

The issue isn't having "Stripe" in the product name, it's having it in a way that implies it's by Stripe, mostly by putting it first. The top 3 hits from your linked search don't really have that issue. "Stripe Move" makes it sound like it's a product from stripe, "Move for Stripe" would not.
We went with it because the other services I mentioned also had Stripe in their names and have been operating for a few years. At the moment our product is so connected to Stripe that we felt having Stripe in the name was necessary to make its purpose clear. We added to our content that we are not affiliated to them, if we have to change the name in the future that is something we will have to deal with.
Total layman here and I don't know what you've seen, but generally the thing I've seen companies avoid is starting their names with someone else's trademark. (So "Move for Stripe" rather than "Stripe Move", for example.)
Was wondering about this as well. Might fly under the radar for a while but if your project grows you might draw attention from Stripe and having to rebrand later on will become difficult.
Also, what if you want to support this type of migration for other payment processors in the future? This name ties to just Stripe.
Also, tiny grammatical nitpick: the subheading should use the word seamlessly, not seamless there I think.

Their chief counsel will insist on enforcing it immediately. You can't be lax about protecting your trademarks some of the time.

It's unlikely to fly under the radar as Stripe founders and employees are regularly on HN.
