I've been using Stripe for a while and have always wanted something like this. Search results for solutions to Stripe specific problems are horrendous to navigate or nonexistent.

Totally, a simple answers site like this is seriously in need. I wouldn't even mind paying $9/month for something simple and elegant and easy to brand like this.

There are a couple of help desk tools which can compile a Q&A style knowledge base out of customer support emails. Here's one I'm familiar with: http://www.desk.com/product#sec6

We're actually using OSQA on the backend which, as you might guess, is open-source.

It has problems in the design department. It appears extremely busy, because your eye is drawn to the top and right hand side of the page, which is completely devoid of any content.

It's not helped by all the social media widgets and RSS links and Large Box Of Male Faces. And flags.

They really need to dump all the irrelevant junk and focus on the content.
