Billing address pane needed for Authorize.net?

Is the data in the Billing Address pane required for use with Authorize.net? In my case, we are not using any shipping modules in Ubercart, since it is delivered locally, so the client would like to have only the Delivery Address pane displayed since only one address is necessary. However, we are using Authorize.net as our payment gateway, so I'm guessing they will need an address to compare with the billing address for the credit card.

In looking at uc_authorizenet.module, I can see that the billing address is sent as will as the delivery data (so maybe I answered my own question). Just out of curiosity, though, why does Authorize.net care where the delivery address is?

Thanks.

Nah, it won't really care where the delivery address, but yes it will need the billing pane so it can pass the billing info in. You might be able to setup some fraud protection rules based on shipping address or something, but that would be an extra feature through Auth.Net if it's even available.
