RevenueTotal from orders attributed to each variantThe business result
Average order valueRevenue ÷ ordersA variant can sell less often but bigger baskets
Revenue per visitorRevenue ÷ visitors who enteredBalances conversion and order value

Steps #

  1. Add a Revenue goal (any revenue, or a product) on the Goals step.
  2. Run the test until orders accumulate.
  3. Compare variants on revenue per visitor.

Example #

VariantVisitorsOrdersConversionAOVRevenue / visitor
Control1,000303.0%60 €1.80 €
Variant B (free shipping over 50 €)1,000272.7%78 €2.11 €

Variant B converts less but earns 17% more per visitor: with revenue as goal, it wins. Judging on conversion alone would have picked the wrong variant.

Good to know #

  • Orders are attributed to the variant the visitor saw before buying.
  • Refunds are not subtracted: check big orders if results look odd.
  • Revenue needs more visitors than conversion to become significant – plan longer tests.

Expected result #

You choose the variant that makes the most money, not only the most clicks.

FAQ #

Why use revenue per visitor? #

It combines how often people buy and how much they spend.
