At a glance
AOV by Buyer Country breaks your average order value down by the country the buyer is shipping to, turning a single blended number into a map of where your most valuable cross-border orders come from. Because AliExpress sells globally, average basket size swings widely across markets, driven by purchasing power, shipping-cost tolerance, and local currency strength. For an owner or marketer this card is the foundation of market-specific pricing, free-shipping thresholds, and promotion targeting, because a tactic that lifts AOV in one country can be irrelevant in another.

Calculation
Vortex IQ groups completed orders over the 30-day window by buyer destination country and divides total order value by order count within each group to produce a per-country average. See the At a glance summary above for what the metric tracks and the worked example below for a typical reading.Worked example
A representative reading of AOV by Buyer Country for a typical cross-border AliExpress store. On 21 Mar 26 the bars show the United States and Australia leading at roughly 32 USD per order while Brazil sits near 11 USD despite carrying high order volume. The marketer reads this as a signal to raise the free-shipping threshold for the high-AOV markets, where buyers already spend more, while leaving the price-sensitive Brazilian market on a smaller threshold to protect conversion. They schedule a bundle promotion aimed only at the high-AOV countries.

Known limitations / merchant FAQs
Q: How often does AOV by Buyer Country update? It reflects a rolling 30-day window and refreshes as new orders settle, so a recent shift in a country’s basket size appears progressively rather than all at once. Q: Why does my AliExpress Seller Center show a different number? Differences usually come from currency basis, order-status scope, and how each system groups countries into regions, plus the exact 30-day boundary and time zone used. Q: How does AOV by Buyer Country relate to other geography metrics? It is the value view that complements the volume view inaex_orders_by_buyer_country and the currency view in aex_revenue_by_buyer_currency.
Q: Can I customise the alert threshold?
