Nitromule

Embed quote widget

Updated 2026-09-07

On this page

The embed quote widget lets visitors compare shipping rates on a marketing or checkout page using a public embed token — not your full nm_live_ Integrations API key.

When to use

  • Show live multi-carrier style quotes on a webpage
  • You need a browser-safe token with limited scope
  • Full OMS label purchase stays on your server with secret API keys

When not to use

  • Buying labels from the browser with a secret key (never do this)
  • Full branded customer checkout with payment — use a portal instead
  • Server-side OMS — use the Integrations API

Steps

  1. Sign in to Nitromule.
  2. Open Settings → API (or Embeds).
  3. Create an embed / quote widget key or token designed for public use.
  4. Copy the embed snippet Nitromule provides.
  5. Paste it into your site where quotes should appear.
  6. Configure default package assumptions (weight/dims) as the snippet allows.
  7. Test on a staging page before production.
  8. Optionally restrict allowed origins if the dashboard offers allowlists.

Security rules

  • Do not put nm_test_ / nm_live_ secrets in frontend JavaScript, mobile apps, or public repos
  • Treat embed tokens as public but rotatable — revoke if abused
  • Label purchase, void, and webhooks stay on server-side API calls
