Short answer
Average order value (AOV) is total revenue divided by the number of orders over a given period. It measures how much customers spend per transaction. Retailers raise AOV through bundles, upsells, cross-sells, and free-shipping thresholds, and track it alongside conversion rate because together they determine revenue per visitor and acquisition affordability.
