If you create a httpWebRequest and pass the XML string to the page (you can build the XML file by using the System.Xml.XmlDocument class) then you should be able to use httpWebResponse to capture the details of the merchants response. Also, check their website as a lot of sites will provide sample applications for various different languages.

I another question how secure is this method of posting?
should i use rc4 encryption

The method of sending data via SSL means that no-one can intercept the packets that you are sending. If the merchant supports you sending encrypted data then you may as well implement it just to increase that security.
