# Website restrictions

> Limit where your web chat widget can load.

Website restrictions let you control which domains can load a chat widget. Use this to prevent the snippet from being copied to unauthorized websites.

## Enable restrictions

1. Open the inbox.
2. Go to **Channels**.
3. Find **Chat widget**.
4. Turn on **Restrict to specific websites**.
5. Add the allowed domains.
6. Save the inbox.

Allowed origins can include domains such as:

```text theme={"system"}
example.com
www.example.com
staging.example.com
```

## Testing checklist

* Add the production domain.
* Add staging or preview domains if your team needs to test there.
* Confirm the widget still loads on allowed domains.
* Confirm the widget does not load on a domain that is not allowed.

<Warning>
  If restrictions are enabled and your website domain is missing, the widget will not load for visitors.
