How does the optimization algorithm work?

The tool generates all possible permutations of your provided discounts. For each sequence, it simulates the application process step-by-step, verifying if conditions like `min_spend` are met at the exact moment each discount is applied. It then returns the sequence that results in the lowest final price.

Can I check if a specific discount is valid for my current cart total?

Yes, you can use the `validate_discount_eligibility` tool. By providing the current running total, the discount object, and the user context (like membership tier), the tool will confirm if the discount is applicable or explain why it was skipped.

Does the tool handle different types of discounts?

Yes, it supports `percentage` reductions, `fixed_amount` subtractions, and `fixed_shipping` adjustments. The optimizer considers how each type interacts with others in a sequence.

The Discount Order Optimizer is a specialized tool designed to solve the complex problem of sequential discount application. When applying multiple discounts--such as percentage reductions, fixed amounts, and shipping adjustments--the order in which they are applied significantly impacts the final total. This MCP server uses an exhaustive permutation algorithm to evaluate every possible sequence, checking eligibility conditions like minimum spend thresholds at each step. By using tools like find_optimal_discount_sequence, calculate_sequence_impact, and validate_discount_eligibility, you can determine exactly how to structure promotions to maximize savings for your customers or optimize pricing strategies.
