AOV (Average Order Value)

Also known as: average order value · average basket

Definition

AOV is total revenue divided by the number of orders in a period. Raising it improves acquisition economics immediately because it increases the value of traffic already paid for.

AOV is often the fastest lever available to an e-commerce business under CAC pressure, because bundling, thresholds and post-purchase upsell can move it within weeks — whereas reducing CAC usually takes a quarter.

Watch it alongside conversion rate, since the two frequently trade off. A free-shipping threshold that raises AOV while suppressing conversion can leave total revenue lower, so judge changes on revenue per session rather than on AOV alone.

Formula

AOV = Total revenue ÷ Number of orders
