# Insert shortcode into page

{% hint style="danger" %}
You need to use the shortcode *\[stm\_motors\_vin\_decoders]* in pages when you want to display Motors Vin Decoder Input Field.
{% endhint %}

Whether you are using a free version with [NHTSA](https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/motors-vin-decoder/vin-decoder-specification-providers/national-highway-traffic-safety-administration) service, or the pro version with five different services ([Marketcheck](https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/motors-vin-decoder/vin-decoder-specification-providers/marketcheck), [Vin Audit](https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/motors-vin-decoder/vin-decoder-specification-providers/vin-audit), [Vancario](https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/motors-vin-decoder/vin-decoder-specification-providers/vindecoder.eu), [Israel](https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/motors-vin-decoder/vin-decoder-specification-providers/databases-of-the-ministry-of-transportation-of-israel), [Clearvin](https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/motors-vin-decoder/vin-decoder-specification-providers/clearvin.com)), you are required to use this shortcode. 

So, after selecting the most suitable VIN Decoder provider in a free or pro version of the plugin, you will place the shortcode \[stm\_motors\_vin\_decoders] to the page and post it to display Motors Vin Decoder Input Field like below:

Write the standard shortcode here and update the page to see the result:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/motors-vin-decoder/general-overview/how-to-use-plugin-shortcode.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
