Average Order Value formula explained
Average Order Value (AOV) measures the average amount customers spend every time they place an order. Increasing AOV is one of the fastest ways to grow ecommerce revenue without acquiring additional customers.
Average Order Value formula
Divide the total revenue generated during a period by the total number of completed orders. The result is your average order value.
Profit per order
Average order value becomes much more meaningful when combined with profit per order, showing how much profit each customer purchase actually generates.
Example calculation
What is a good Average Order Value?
There is no universal “good” Average Order Value because it depends on your industry, products and pricing strategy. However, increasing AOV is one of the most effective ways to grow revenue without increasing customer acquisition costs.
Low
Orders generate limited revenue, making it harder to cover marketing and operating costs profitably.
Average
A solid starting point, but opportunities may exist to increase basket size through upsells or bundles.
Healthy
Many successful ecommerce stores operate within this range while maintaining healthy profitability.
Excellent
High-value orders can significantly improve profitability when product margins remain healthy.
- Higher AOV increases revenue without acquiring more customers.
- Bundles and upsells are among the fastest ways to increase AOV.
- A high AOV only matters if orders remain profitable.
- MarginLab tracks Average Order Value together with product margins and profit leaks automatically.
Common AOV mistakes
Average Order Value is useful, but it can be misleading when analyzed without profit, product costs and discount impact. A higher AOV does not automatically mean a more profitable store.
Focusing only on order value
A higher order value is good only if the additional products also generate healthy profit margins.
Using discounts to inflate AOV
Discounts can increase basket size while reducing profit per order. Always compare AOV with gross margin.
Ignoring product mix
Orders with more products may still be weak if they include low-margin items or products with high fulfillment costs.
Not tracking profit per order
Average Order Value should be reviewed together with product costs to understand how much each order truly contributes.
Why Average Order Value matters for Shopify stores
Increasing Average Order Value is one of the most profitable growth strategies for ecommerce businesses. By encouraging customers to spend more per purchase, stores can generate higher revenue without increasing advertising costs or acquiring more visitors.
Common AOV challenges
- Customers purchase only a single low-value product.
- Discounts increase basket size but reduce profit.
- Upsell and cross-sell opportunities are missed.
- High-value orders contain low-margin products.
- Average Order Value is tracked without measuring profitability.
