The same could be said of any payment processor.

The only way to verify would be to fill in your credit card details on a domain belonging to the processor.

Maybe what you're saying is the only way. Or maybe there are some options (two options in the above comment). But whatever it is, we cannot resort to an insecure way of payment just because there is no other way.

Regardless of people lying about using Stripe or what ever processor they claim, you still don't have any guarantee that their backend system is secure and treating your credit card information properly.

stripe could hoste a page that lists your site as a client, display your loge, and you could link to that page

That seems like one good way of doing it. The other one I can think of is using a widget containing html form generated dynamically by stripe, along with a back link with a unique hash param that verifies it's authenticity.
