NMV

Category: Marketplace

Also searched as: Net merchandise value

Definition (plain English)

Net merchandise value is merchandise value after returns, cancellations, discounts, or other defined adjustments.

Why it matters commercially

NMV is closer to actual retained sales volume than GMV and helps teams judge channel quality and inventory performance.

Example

A distributor used NMV instead of GMV after a promo drove large orders that later returned because expiry dates were too short.

Common mistake

Comparing NMV across channels without matching the same refund, cancellation, tax, shipping, and discount rules.
