# Default

> The Liquid default filter, which supplies a fallback value in a Shoplazza theme when a variable is nil, false or empty.

Default filters enable you to use or set default values for certain contexts.

## default

`variable | default: variable`

Sets a default value for any variable whose value is one of the following:

*   [empty](/docs/theme/references/liquid/basics/liquid-types#empty)
*   [false](/docs/theme/references/liquid/basics/true-and-false)
*   [nil](/docs/theme/references/liquid/basics/liquid-types#nil)

**Code**

```liquid
{% assign store_name = '' %}

{{ store_name | default: 'Default store' }}
```

**Output**

```html
Default store
```
