Marketplace
Product discovery and transaction environment built for the EU single market — Euro pricing, origin visibility, and supplier verification at listing level.
EU-Native Commerce Infrastructure
The commerce infrastructure layer for Europe.
Sternary is an integrated platform for EU commerce. Marketplace, supplier verification, communication, video, and payments — delivered on European infrastructure, for European businesses.
Sign in
Live app preview loop. Illustrative interface — not production data.
Platform
One platform. Six infrastructure capabilities.
Sternary is not a single feature. It is a connected commerce stack — each layer operates independently and as part of the whole.
Supplier Verification
Business registry, VAT validation, and identity workflows for European manufacturers, distributors, and brands.
Communication
Dedicated buyer–supplier messaging for product, order, and business conversations — architecturally separate from advertising systems.
Video Commerce
Product-linked video and demonstration formats with in-context purchase actions. A commerce capability, not a social feed.
Payments & Settlement
Transaction and escrow architecture designed for integration with regulated European financial partners. Sternary is not a bank or licensed payment institution.
Supplier Tools
Storefront management, catalog operations, customer communication, and future merchant services in one operating environment.
Strategic Context
Europe requires its own commerce infrastructure.
Product discovery, supplier relationships, communication, and transaction processing across Europe still depend largely on non-European platforms. Sternary is being built to address that structural gap.
Digital sovereignty
Commerce data and supplier relationships should not depend entirely on foreign infrastructure.
European industry
Manufacturers and SMEs need direct access to customers across the single market.
Regulatory alignment
EU commerce requires architecture designed around regional privacy, tax, and business standards.
Single market scale
Cross-border EU commerce is a structural advantage that requires purpose-built infrastructure.
EU Single Market
EU single-market commerce — without internal customs barriers.
Goods moving between EU member states generally circulate without customs duties under the Union’s customs framework. Sternary is built for that intra-EU reality — with logistics intended to stay inside European carrier networks.
No internal customs duties
Under the EU customs union, customs duties are not charged on goods traded between member states. Sternary focuses on EU-registered businesses operating in that single-market context — with clearer cross-border commercial flows inside the Union.
Intra-European shipping networks
Fulfilment is intended to use carriers and routes that operate within the EU, so shipments remain European end-to-end rather than being handled as extra-EU international freight.
General information only: VAT, One-Stop Shop (OSS), product rules, sanctions, and other regulatory requirements may still apply. Not a guarantee of any specific shipment or tax outcome.

Infrastructure
Built on European infrastructure principles.
Hosting, financial integration, communication architecture, and supplier verification — designed as platform foundations, not marketing features.
European hosting
Core services and data infrastructure designed to remain within approved European regions.
Financial integration
Payment and escrow capabilities designed for integration with regulated European partners. Not a banking or payment-licence claim.
Communication architecture
Messaging infrastructure designed to separate commercial interaction from advertising profiling.
Verification & compliance
Supplier identity, registry validation, and product design aligned with GDPR principles.
