What is AOV?

Also called Average order value

Short answer

AOV is revenue divided by number of orders. It is useful for planning, but a high AOV with high RTO or heavy discounting can still lose money.

Formula

AOV = revenue / orders

Worked example

₹12 lakh across 800 orders is a ₹1,500 AOV. Pair it with items per order and contribution, not vanity revenue.
