What is Average Order Size?

Average order size, additionally referred to as common order fee, is the common sum of money a customer spends in a single transaction on an eCommerce store. It’s a crucial metric that may bring about multiplied profits, higher advertising ROI, decreased delivery rates, and greater possibilities to affect clients and appeal to them far from online marketplaces. The average order fee tracks the quantity spent every time a customer places an order on an internet site or cell app. To calculate the company’s average order size, divide general sales by the total number of orders.
