About

Stackrules is a fully local coupon-stacking rules explainer. stacking_basics explains what stacking means and the core rule (one manufacturer + one store coupon per item is usually fine; two manufacturer coupons on one item essentially never is). coupon_types_glossary defines manufacturer/store/digital coupons, cash-back apps, BOGO, and price match. can_i_stack gives a general yes/no/partial/varies answer for a specific pair of types. stacking_order_guide gives the typical checkout application order. common_exclusions lists patterns that commonly block stacking. digital_coupon_tips covers app/loyalty-loaded specifics. fine_print_checklist is what to check before assuming two coupons will combine. retailer_type_patterns notes how grocery, drugstore, big-box and online-only retailers tend to differ. calculate_stacked_savings is a pure-compute tool: give it a price and an ordered list of percent/dollar discounts and it works out the final price and total savings the way a point-of-sale system typically would. General, retailer-agnostic patterns — a specific coupon's fine print or a specific store's posted policy always overrides anything general here. Keyless; fully local; zero upstream calls; nothing stored.

Sources: Hand-curated from widely observed, generally published US retail coupon practice (not any single retailer's specific policy); the discount-stacking calculator is pure arithmetic on user-supplied values. Fully local, zero upstream calls.

What Stack Rules is for

"Can I use a manufacturer coupon and a store coupon together?", "why didn't my second coupon work?", "what's my final price with a 20% off coupon and a $5 off coupon?" — a general explanation of how coupon stacking actually works, since it's one of the most commonly misunderstood parts of everyday shopping.

What it does

stacking_basics explains what "stacking" means and the core rule that drives almost all confusion about it: one manufacturer coupon plus one store coupon per item is usually fine (they're two different companies each discounting their own side), while two manufacturer coupons on the same single item essentially never is. coupon_types_glossary defines manufacturer, store, and digital coupons, cash-back/rebate apps, BOGO, percent- and dollar-off math, loyalty discounts, and price matching. can_i_stack gives a general answer for a specific pair of types — stackable, not stackable, partial, or "varies too much to say." stacking_order_guide walks through the typical order discounts apply at checkout, ending with cash-back apps (which are always claimed after the fact, on your final receipt). common_exclusions lists the patterns that most often block stacking regardless of type — explicit "not combinable" language, per-customer limits, size/variety mismatches, and the zero-price floor most registers enforce. digital_coupon_tips covers loading coupons before you shop, deduplication, and the most common reasons a loaded coupon silently doesn't apply. fine_print_checklist is what to actually read on a coupon before assuming it'll combine with another. retailer_type_patterns notes how stacking-friendliness tends to differ between grocery chains, drugstores, big-box/department stores, and online-only retailers. calculate_stacked_savings is the one real calculator here: give it a price and an ordered list of percent/dollar discounts, and it works out the final price and total savings the way a point-of-sale system typically processes a multi-coupon transaction.

What it is not

Everything except the calculator is a general, retailer-agnostic pattern based on widely observed practice — never the actual, specific policy of any store or the terms of any specific coupon. A coupon's own printed fine print, or a retailer's own posted coupon policy, always overrides anything general described here.

Stack Rules — Privacy Policy

Effective 25 September 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What Stack Rules is. Stack Rules is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that AI assistants and personal agents call on your behalf for a coupon-stacking rules explainer — general, retailer-agnostic patterns for how manufacturer and store coupons typically combine, plus a stacked-discount calculator. You interact with your assistant; the assistant sends us only the arguments needed for that one lookup.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call, the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant, and a Pro API key if you have one), and standard server logs.

Everything is answered from a bundled, hand-curated reference file and nothing is stored. No request is forwarded to any third party — there is no upstream call at all, live or otherwise — and no query is logged in request bodies, recorded, or used to train anything.

What we do not receive or store. We do not receive your conversation with the assistant or your name, and we do not build a profile from your queries: each request is answered independently and nothing carries over between requests. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting-provider access logs, which contain IP addresses and request paths but not request bodies, are retained for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention.

Sub-processors. None — the entire dataset is bundled with the server and answered locally. Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Legal bases and your rights. Our processing is necessary to provide the service you request through your assistant. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete personal data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. We do not sell or share personal information and do not use your data to train models.

Children. Stack Rules is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.
