Average Order Value

Average order value is the average revenue generated from a single purchase, calculated by dividing total revenue by the number of orders. It is a key e-commerce metric because it shows how much customers typically spend.

Businesses often try to increase AOV through techniques like product bundling, cross-selling, or free shipping thresholds. Tracking this number helps identify whether pricing, promotions, or customer behavior are moving in the right direction.
