Original answer

Good question — increasing average order value (AOV) is one of the fastest ways to grow revenue without increasing traffic. Below is a compact, prioritized playbook you can implement on Shopify with concrete actions, copy examples, and measurement steps.

  1. Quick definitions + how to measure
  • AOV = Total revenue / Number of orders (over the same period).
  • Track in Shopify Analytics (Dashboard > Analytics) and in whatever analytics you use (GA4, etc.).
  • Useful related metrics: attach rate (how often customers buy the add-on), conversion rate, and revenue per visitor (RPV).
  1. High-impact strategies (with how-to notes for Shopify)
  • Free-shipping threshold

    • Offer free shipping at a target order value (e.g., current AOV is $40 → set free shipping at $60–$80). People add to cart to unlock free shipping.
    • How to set: Shopify admin > Settings > Shipping and delivery (create shipping rate based on order price) or use shipping profiles/apps for complex rules.
    • Tip: Display a progress bar on site header/cart showing “$X away from free shipping.”
  • Product bundles and kits

    • Bundle complementary items into a slightly discounted package (e.g., 2 for 10% off).
    • How to set: create a bundle product or use a bundle app (or use a single SKU for kits). Make savings obvious on the product page.
    • Tip: Show per-item savings and compare to buying separately.
  • Upsells and cross-sells on product pages and cart

    • Product page: “Frequently bought together”, “Customers also bought”, or recommended add-ons (accessories, warranty).
    • Cart drawer/cart page: show 1–2 high-margin add-ons with clear one-click add.
    • How to set: enable Shopify’s product recommendations and/or install an upsell/cross-sell app/widget.
  • Post-purchase one-click offers

    • Offer a one-time discounted add-on immediately after checkout (no re-entering card).
    • How to set: use a post-purchase upsell tool or the checkout extensibility features if available for your plan (Shopify Plus has script capabilities).
    • Tip: Keep offer simple and time-limited; conversion rates are often high.
  • Tiered discounts / volume pricing

    • “Buy 2, get 10% off; buy 3, get 15% off” — encourages larger multiplies.
    • How to set: Shopify admin > Discounts (create automatic discounts or discount codes) or use an app for dynamic tiered pricing.
  • Bundled shipping/savings messaging at checkout

    • Reinforce savings in the cart and checkout: “Add $X more and get free shipping” and show bundle savings.
    • How to set: customize cart template or use cart messaging apps/snippets.
  • Subscriptions & replenishment

    • Convert one-time buyers into subscription customers and offer a discount for the first few cycles.
    • How to set: add a subscription option for eligible products via a subscription app/integration.
  • Loyalty / points programs

    • Reward spending with points that can be redeemed once a threshold is reached — incentivizes larger carts to earn rewards faster.
    • How to set: install a loyalty/points app and promote the benefit on product pages and at checkout.
  • Limited-time bundles and scarcity

    • Flash bundle deals or limited-stock combos can drive urgency to add more items now.
    • How to set: create limited-time collections and promote via banners, email, and on-site timers.
  1. Conversion & pricing psychology tips
  • Show savings in absolute dollars, not just percentages (“Save $12” converts better than “10% off”).
  • Use anchor pricing: show original price struck-through plus bundle price.
  • Use social proof on bundles (“X customers bought this combo last week”).
  • Offer low-cost impulse add-ons (under $10) with high margins.
  1. UX & copy examples you can add quickly
  • Cart progress bar: “You’re $22 away from free shipping — add one more item to save!”
  • Product page upsell block: “Add matching charger for $9.99 (save $5).”
  • Post-purchase offer: “Special one-time offer: 50% off our travel case — accept now, no extra checkout.”
  1. Measurement & testing
  • Benchmarks: track AOV, attach rate (add-on units / orders), conversion rate, and RPV before/after each change.
  • A/B tests: test one change at a time (free shipping threshold vs. progress bar; bundle sales vs. single item).
  • Sample test cadence: run each A/B test for at least two weeks or until statistically significant (or based on your traffic volume).
  1. Quick wins (implement in 1–2 days)
  • Add a free-shipping threshold + site-wide banner/progress indicator.
  • Add one product recommendation/“frequently bought together” widget to product pages.
  • Create 2 simple bundles (best-seller + accessory) and promote on homepage.
  1. Medium-term (2–8 weeks)
  • Implement cart upsell and post-purchase one-click offer.
  • Launch tiered discounts and at least one subscription option.
  • Start a basic loyalty program.
  1. Longer term (2–3 months)
  • Optimize bundles by margin and conversion.
  • Roll out personalization (recommendations based on browsing/purchase history).
  • Run regular A/B tests and iterate.
  1. Where to invest (priority)
  • Highest ROI: free-shipping threshold + cart progress UI, product recommendations, post-purchase offers.
  • Good next: bundles/kits, tiered discounts, subscription options.
  • Ongoing: loyalty, personalization, creative promotions.
  1. Example KPI targets (adjust to your business)
  • Increase AOV by 15–30% within 90 days by combining free shipping threshold + bundles + one post-purchase offer.
  • Target attach rate for add-ons: 10–25% (varies by product).
  • RPV should grow proportionally with AOV if conversion rate stays steady.

If you want, I can:

  • Build a 30/60/90-day plan tailored to your current AOV, product prices, and margins.
  • Draft on-site copy, banner text, and an A/B test matrix for your store.

Tell me your current AOV, average product price, and top-selling products if you want a tailored plan.
