Airbnb is "retiring" group payments, and I for one say, good riddance!!
This was burdensome to hosts, as it could lead to hosts having their calendar blocked for up to 3 days while the "group" tried to get their act together and have everyone pay on time. As I said before on this matter, this should not be the host's burden. The group leader should be responsible for gathering payments.

We heard from you that holding your listing for 72 hours while waiting for all of the guests to pay was inconvenient. We considered the overall usefulness of this feature and its impact on the whole community and have now decided to remove it in mid-September 2018. Any existing reservation that was paid for with Group Payments will be honored; we’re simply preventing new reservations from being made with Group Payments. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to work to build the simplest, most beneficial tools to support your hosting success.
