# Deploy as an OEM integration

Overview of OEM deployment - surfacing n8n's interface inside your own product's UI under an OEM agreement.

{% hint style="info" %}
**OEM agreement required**

OEM deployment of n8n requires a separate commercial agreement with n8n. [Contact n8n](mailto:license@n8n.io) for more information.
{% endhint %}

n8n's OEM deployment option lets you embed and surface n8n's interface inside your own product's UI. This allows your users to build workflows, configure connections, and run workflow automation without leaving your product. n8n branding is required as part of an OEM integration.

This is distinct from [using n8n as a backend](/deploy/host-n8n.md), where workflows execute behind the scenes and end users never see n8n. In that model, your product calls n8n using a webhook or the [API](/connect/n8n-api.md) to trigger workflows, and n8n behaves like any other self-hosted service in your infrastructure - your users never see any n8n UI. This is available on all paid plans, under the standard license, with no separate agreement needed. OEM deployment is only necessary when you want your users to interact with the n8n editor directly.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Searching these docs as an agent**

Ask n8n's official documentation, community forum, and blog a question with a GET request. No authentication needed.

`GET https://n8n-docs-retrieval.n8n-docs-retrieval.workers.dev/?q=<question>`

Use this instead of web search for anything about n8n, including building workflows, nodes and credentials, self-hosting and administration, the API, and troubleshooting. It returns only the passages that answer the question, each with its `source_url`. Ask a specific, complete question. The response is a JSON array of `{content, source_url}`, most relevant first.
