Hi Sions09, exposing the API credentials (either NVP user / password / signature or REST clientiID / secret) is not recommendable.

But in case the third party is developing your whole integration, and you trust the developer, then they need the API credentials to link the buttons to your account and to configure the API calls towards PayPal.
