What is WooCommerce average order value?
WooCommerce average order value (AOV) is the average amount a customer spends in one order on your store. You calculate it by dividing your total revenue by the number of orders in the same period.
If your store made $15,000 from 100 orders last month, your WooCommerce average order value is $150. Get the same 100 customers to add one more item each, and revenue grows without a single extra visitor. That is why I treat average order value as the cheapest growth lever in WooCommerce. You can see it in WooCommerce → Analytics → Overview.
Why your WooCommerce average order value is stuck
I have been building WooCommerce stores since 2014, and today I run WooCommerce development at Rowerr. Over 12 years and more than 1,800 websites, I have seen the same pattern again and again: a store spends money to bring a visitor in, the visitor buys one item, and leaves.
The product was good. The ads worked. But nothing on the page gave the shopper a reason to add a second item. That is where profit leaks. Your WooCommerce average order value is simply your revenue divided by your number of orders, so every one-item order pulls it down.

7 strategies to increase WooCommerce average order value
Each strategy below gives the shopper a different reason to add more. You do not need all 7 on day one. Start with the two that fit your products, then add more.
Quantity tiers (WooCommerce tier pricing)
Best for: products people buy more than one ofTier pricing lowers the price per item as the quantity goes up. The trick is to show the ladder on the product page, with a nudge such as “Add 1 more and save 10%”. Shoppers climb it.
WooCommerce bundles (fixed bundle prices)
Best for: increasing items per order fastWooCommerce bundles sell a set of items at one fixed price. In my demo store, jeans are 2 for $250 or 3 for $350. Shoppers can mix and match across products, categories or tags, and the cart shows the bundle saving on its own line.
Buy one get one (BOGO and buy X get Y)
Best for: clearing stock and lifting units per orderBuy one hoodie, get the second free, or the next pair of jeans at half price. Buy X get Y goes further: the free item can be a different product. A banner on the product page tells shoppers about the deal before they add to cart.
Free gifts with purchase
Best for: moving a slow product and rewarding the main purchaseBuy the dark grey jeans and a bracelet comes free. The cart says “You’ve earned a free gift”, the shopper chooses it on a gift page, and it lands in the cart at $0. A product they did not come for is now in their order.
Cheapest item free
Best for: mix-and-match ranges like tees and accessoriesBuy any 3 tees and the cheapest one is free. It works across variations and products, and a “Cheapest Free!” badge in the cart makes the saving clear. In my demo cart, this line saved the shopper $28.
Spend rewards (Silver and Gold levels)
Best for: raising the whole cart total, not one productSpend $500, get 5% off. Spend $1,000, get 10% off. I call them Silver and Gold. A progress bar in the cart shows exactly how much more the shopper needs for the next level, and only the best reached reward applies.
Free-shipping goals
Best for: every store that charges shippingThis is the most underrated trick in ecommerce. Set free shipping for orders over $200, and below that amount the cart counts down: “Spend $92 more for free shipping.” Shoppers go back and add one more product.
Bonus: Min and Max quantities. Sell in packs, set a minimum order, or cap a product per order. If a shopper types 7 tees that are sold in packs of 3, the cart moves it to 9 and explains why, so you never lose the order to an error message.
Why WooCommerce bundles work so well
Discounts on a single item give money away. WooCommerce bundles do the opposite: the shopper only gets a better price when they take more. That is why bundles and quantity tiers are the two strategies I set up first for most clients.
- They anchor the price. Seeing “3 for $350” next to “$150 each” makes the third item feel like the smart choice.
- They reward the behaviour you want. One-item buyers pay full price; bigger carts get the deal.
- They work with everything else. A bundle can push a cart past your free-shipping goal or into the Silver reward level.
Which strategy should you start with?
You do not need all 7 on day one. Here is how I match strategies to stores when I set them up for clients:
| Your store sells… | Start with | Then add |
|---|---|---|
| Consumables and basics (socks, tees, supplements) | Quantity tiers | Cheapest item free |
| Fashion and accessories | WooCommerce bundles | Free gifts |
| Higher-priced items with add-ons | Buy X get Y | Spend rewards |
| Wholesale or B2B | Quantity tiers + user-role conditions | Min / Max quantities |
| Any store that charges shipping | Free-shipping goal | Spend rewards |
Whatever you sell, measure your WooCommerce average order value before you start and again after 30 days, so you know which offer earned its place.
One setting that decides your profit: how offers combine
When several offers hit the same cart, your plugin has to decide what happens. In my demo cart with all 7 strategies active:
Same products, same offers, an $88 difference from one setting. Make sure your plugin lets you choose Stack all, Best offer wins or First match wins, and gives you safety nets: skip sale items, pause offers when a coupon is used, exclude products and cap the total saving.

I checked each vendor’s own product page in November 2026 and compared only what each dynamic pricing plugin itself includes. Features sold as separate plugins are not counted.

My recommendation
Pricelet: best all-in-one way to grow WooCommerce average order value
All 7 strategies, Min/Max quantities, shop badges, progress bars, stacking control and AI setup in one plugin, every feature in every plan, from $49/year or $240 for life.
YITH Dynamic Pricing & Discounts
Strong pricing rules and gift options. Badges need a separate plugin, and bundles and progress bars are not listed.
ELEX Dynamic Pricing
Good for product, category and combination rules with fixed-price sets. It does not apply to shipping, so no free-shipping goals.
WebToffee Smart Coupons
Best if your strategy is coupon-led (BOGO, giveaways, cheapest item free). Less suited to price ladders and cart progress bars.

How do I increase WooCommerce average order value?
Give shoppers a clear reason to add more: quantity tiers, WooCommerce bundles, buy one get one, free gifts, cheapest item free, spend rewards and free-shipping goals. Show each offer on the product page and in the cart so shoppers see how close they are to the next saving.
Do WooCommerce bundles really increase average order value?
Yes. A bundle such as 2 pairs for $250 or 3 for $350 turns a one-item purchase into a multi-item purchase, because the per-item price only drops when the shopper takes more.
Will these offers hurt my profit margins?
Not if you control how offers combine. Use “best offer wins”, exclude sale items, pause offers when a coupon is used, and set a maximum discount cap.
Do I need coding to set up dynamic pricing in WooCommerce?
No. With Pricelet you pick a strategy, choose your products and publish from the WordPress dashboard. You can also describe an offer in plain words or upload a CSV and let the AI setup build the rules for you to review.
Is Pricelet free?
No. Pricelet is a premium plugin: Core is $49 per year for one store, Lifetime is $240 one time, and Agency is $300 per year for 25 websites. Every plan includes every feature and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
