Woocommerce – Prevent Product Images From Downloading To Media Using External URLs During Import [WordPress]

I have 100k+ products and each product has 5+ images. I have uploaded all images to google cloud storage and using it as external server for my images. Now, I need to import the products in my wordpress site. I defined all image urls in my csv, however, during the import, wordpress is downloading all the images to media which kills the purpose of taking images to external server. I want to keep images externally and don’t want to import them to media.

Is there any way to it?

    The plugin "Featured Image from URL (FIFU)" solved the issue.

    I know this might be an old question but I stumbled accross it recently when I was facing the same exact problem. The plugin am using is called WP External Images https://wpexternalimages.com

    Not only does it prevent duplicates, but it also allow me to use images hosted elsewhere without downloading them into the media library. Works perfect, and support is amazing.
