Is phone number required for Authorize.Net payment processing? - authorize.net

I am creating an application in which i charge payment. For payment, i am using authorize.net. This application can be used all over the world and user needs to give his mobile numner in his own country format. I want to ask is phone number is required for payment processing? If required then ia there any specific format?

The phone number is not a required field for processing a payment through Authorize.Net.
It is also not required when creating a payment profile. You can confirm it by testing it in their API reference.

Delayed payment using Authorize.net's iframe to collect payment information

We occasionally allow our customers to purchase our product and delay the payment until a pre-determined date. In order to do this, we need to collect the payment information at the time the order is placed. We are using the iframe method of collecting payment information.
I imagine I can use ARB to set up a one-time payment that will be billed at a specific date. However, that only works if I have the payment information stored away in a profile to begin with.
How can I collect the user's payment information without an initial charge, so that I can set up a payment at a later date?
As mentioned by John Conde, there is a hosted form that will allow you to collect payment information. It supports iFrame. You can create a customer profile first and then initiate this form. There are options to verify the card information or defer it to later, depending on your requirements.
You can find documentation in the link below. Search for "GetHostedProfilePage"

How to make a credit card validation prior to a authorization

I am using Authorize.net as a payment gateway. Now I want to check credit card validity before creating authorize payment. I am using another service to store and manage the customer's profiles and credit cards, and therefore I don't want to create a customer profile in Authorize.net, I just want to use their service to validate a credit card and later to authorize a payment.
Is there any proper way to do this validation?
Searching the documentation and other similar questions, all I could find was the option to create a customer profile, but this option doesn't seem practical to me, since it's necessary to create a customer profile, and after delete it each time I need to validate a credit card.
Does anyone had a similar problem with Authorize.net payment gateway?

token or hash value to store and charge a unique customer: Authorize.net

I have read the documentation and currently it supports the customer profile which i can use to charge the customer. I want to know if it is possible i can have a token which i stored in my user table along with each user and then charge that? like a hash value or the token without using the profile ids? or the only profile id is the way to charge the customer.
Actually i want to do the recurring payment manually because of returning customer and having inconsistent monthly utility bill.
Another reason is that profile it made consist on name description and email which i think is not good enough to check the uniqueness of the users profiles.
Yes, it is possible. You need to use the Customer Information Manager (CIM) API to create a payment profile. You then will have a payment profile ID for that payment profile that you can charge against without having to know or store any of that credit card information.
The profile ID is the only way to charge the customer. There is no token or hash.

If a card code is submitted as part of profile creation and validationMode is set to livemode, the card code will be used as part of the $0 transaction. However, the card code is not stored with the profile.
When using a payment profile for a transaction, you can also require the user to enter the card code and when included will be used with the transaction.
