A metric used in e-commerce and retail to measure the average value of each shopping cart or customer order. It represents the average amount customers spend per transaction. The terms Average Order Value (AOV) and ACV are used interchangeably to refer to the same metric.
How to Calculate ACV
To calculate the Average Cart Value, you divide the total revenue generated from all transactions within a given period by the total number of transactions.
\text{ACV} = \frac{\text{Total Revenue}}{\text{Total Number of Transactions}}
\text{ACV} = \frac{10000}{500} = 20
