 * Hi,
    The default comma (,) sign is used as the separator for product export or
   product import. Can I change it to semicolon (;) ? Thanks.

 * Hi there,
 * For the most part, the comma (,) is the delimiter. To change this:
 * * Go to `WooCommerce > Products`.
 * * Select Import at the top. You will see the Upload CSV File screen.
 * ⌊CSV delimiter⌉⌊CSV delimiter⌉
    Link to image: [https://snipboard.io/ADnNRq.jpg](https://snipboard.io/ADnNRq.jpg)
 * It includes an option to select your CSV delimiter.
 * Let us know if there are any questions.

 * Thank you for your answer. Yes I know that. However, I want the default value
   to always be semicolon (;). Is there a hook for this?
    Also in which php file
   is this being edited. Thank you again.

 * 2-) I didn’t want to open a topic again. I would be glad if you help.
    Is there
   a hook that works during the product transfer phase? I don’t want to write data
   like attribute visibility and attribute global for variations as 1 at a time.
   I want to get it as 1 by default. That’s why I asked.

 * That’s a good question,
 * This is possible using this filter:
    `woocommerce_product_export_delimiter`
 * If you are not familiar with hooks, you can start at:
    [https://woocommerce.com/document/introduction-to-hooks-actions-and-filters/](https://woocommerce.com/document/introduction-to-hooks-actions-and-filters/)
 * * Also, you can find more information at:
    Delimiter property with filter: [https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/pull/24759](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/pull/24759)
 * * To alter the default delimiter, you will need a custom snippet
    You can find
   the snippet [here](https://gist.github.com/rafsuntaskin/8225bc350a968817734abd4b889542a6).
 * I hope this helps.
