Average Order Value: A Practical Guide

Understand AOV and how it connects to revenue and profitability.

Calculate AOV

Divide revenue by the number of orders over the same period.

Use it carefully

Higher AOV is not automatically higher profit if discounts or low-margin additions drive the increase.

Improve it intelligently

Bundles, minimum thresholds and relevant add-ons can raise order value while preserving customer value.
