AOV (Gross)

Average Order Value (Gross) = Gross Sales / Number of Orders

AOV (Gross) Sales are also known as Top-Line Sales, and do not include additional considerations, such as discounts, returns, taxes, shipping, etc.

Average Order Value (AOV) is an e-commerce metric that tells you how much, on average, your customers are spending per order on your website. This is measured over a defined period of time (generally in months, quarters, or even years). AOV is always something that you want to increase.

Ways to increase your AOV include: creating customer loyalty programs, running promotions, creating new bundles for items that are frequently purchased together, and re-targeting customers with content and product suggestions that you think they'll be interested in.
