I'm missing some of the code shown in the video when creating a button, does the type of registration affect this?

I am missing the entire line of code containing the hosted_button_id, including the value shown in the video that was used as a reference for the product. I have been playing around with this and in the video the business was registered as a clothing retailer whereas I registered an account as a service provider, I still want to offer multiple products on a website and I'm wondering whether the reason for the missing code is because as a service provider you wouldn't offer tangible items per se. Can anyone help me understand this?
