In my experience, no. I had just completed such transaction for someone recently.

Airlines sometime do matter. Certain carriers require verification of payment in-person before departure (at airport) or another means of communication (postal mail). That said, these types of verification do not apply to most carriers; unlikely those your wife would be using.
