1.I'd like to pay in installments.
2.I'd like to pay in all.
3.I'd like to pay all at once.
4.I'd like to pay at once.
5.I'd like to make payment in full.
6.I'd like to pay in full.
7.I'd like to pay in a lump sum.
8.I'd like to make payment in a lump sum.


1.Does #1 make sense?
2.I made some sentences, #2 through #8, as the opposite meaning of #1 which means 'to make payment in a lump sum not in installments'.
Could you tell me which one is the best among #2 to #8? If all is not correct, can you recommend good expressions which mean 'to make payment in a lump sum'?

Thanks.

1 is fine.
For opposites, 3,5,6,7, & 8 are okay. Among those, I like 5 the best with 3, 6, & 7 a close second.
