Delivery validation: Delivery max driving distance

The Delivery Max Driving Distance option validates the customer's address by calculating the actual driving distance from your delivery location. The customer can proceed to checkout only if their address is within the maximum driving distance configured for that location.

Unlike the Delivery Max Radius option, which measures the straight-line distance, this option uses the road network to calculate the driving distance. It is recommended when you want delivery eligibility to reflect the actual travel distance rather than the direct distance between two points.
