Average Order Value (AOV) Calculator

Calculate your AOV and model the revenue impact of upselling, cross-selling, and order minimums.

Average Order Value (AOV) = Total Revenue ÷ Number of Orders. It's one of the highest-leverage e-commerce metrics: a 10% increase in AOV directly increases revenue 10% with no increase in traffic or customer acquisition cost. Tactics: upsells, cross-sells, free shipping thresholds, bundles.

The Formula

AOV = Revenue ÷ Orders

In plain English

AOV = Total Revenue ÷ Number of Orders.

Worked Example

$150,000 revenue ÷ 1,200 orders = $125 AOV. +15% = $143.75 AOV → $17,250 more revenue per period.

How to Increase Average Order Value

The most effective AOV tactics: (1) Free shipping threshold set 15–20% above current AOV — Shopify data shows ~30% of customers add items to qualify. (2) Product bundling — pre-packaged bundles at a slight discount outperform individual upsells. (3) Post-purchase upsells — one-click upsells after checkout convert at 5–15% with zero checkout friction.

AOV should be tracked alongside conversion rate. Pushing AOV too hard (e.g. minimum order requirements) can decrease conversion rate and net revenue.

Common Mistakes

⚠️

Optimising AOV without watching conversion rate

Aggressive upsells or minimum order requirements can tank conversion rates. Always track both AOV and conversion rate together — revenue = AOV × conversions.

⚠️

Setting free shipping threshold too high

A threshold more than 25–30% above current AOV sees diminishing returns. Customers who would have converted stop. Start at 15–20% above AOV and test.

⚠️

Not segmenting AOV by channel

Paid traffic, organic, and email campaigns often have very different AOVs. Understanding which channels drive high-AOV orders helps you allocate budget more effectively.
