How To Split Payment on AirbnbYou are not able to split payments on Airbnb with multiple guests. As of 2018, Airbnb no longer lets you split or share a payment between guests or multiple credit cards. It was offered until 2018 and then discontinued. The reason Airbnb split payments was canceled is due to the hosting community. Airbnb guests would book an Airbnb and split the payment among many other guests. When one guest didn’t pay on time then the booking would be canceled. This blocked off the host calendar preventing them from receiving other bookings which made the hosting community upset and put pressure on Airbnb to ultimately cancel the program in 2018. Do You Have To Pay Upfront For AirbnbYou don’t have to pay the full Airbnb payment upfront. If you book your Airbnb 14 days or more in advance, you can choose to pay 50% upfront at the time of booking and the other 50% closer to your check-in date. Do You Need A Credit Card For AirbnbYou are not able to pay for Airbnb without a credit card on the app or website. This is due to security and insurance reasons.
