Using External Images uploaded to IMGBB in woocommerce product images

[simong1993]

So im using IMGBB for my images as ive got way to many products, but no matter what i do Woocommerce will not let me use external links and just downloads them every time, So i made a function and it uploads to IMGBB but i cannot get it to change the Woocommerce product image locations

// Function to upload an image to ImgBB and return the URL
function upload_image_to_imgbb($file_path) {
    $api_key = ' ';
    $image_data = file_get_contents($file_path);
    $base64_image = base64_encode($image_data);

    $url = 'https://api.imgbb.com/1/upload';
    $data = array(
        'key' => $api_key,
        'image' => $base64_image
    );

    $options = array(
        'http' => array(
            'header'  => "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n",
            'method'  => 'POST',
            'content' => http_build_query($data),
        ),
    );

    $context  = stream_context_create($options);
    $result = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
    $response = json_decode($result, true);

    if (isset($response['data']['url'])) {
        error_log('ImgBB URL: ' . $response['data']['url']); // Debugging line
        return $response['data']['url'];
    } else {
        error_log('ImgBB API response error: ' . $result);
        return false;
    }
}

function handle_image_upload_to_imgbb($image_data) {
    $file_path = $image_data['file'];
    $imgbb_url = upload_image_to_imgbb($file_path);

    if ($imgbb_url) {
        // Ensure attachment is properly registered
        $filetype = wp_check_filetype(basename($file_path), null);
        $attachment = array(
            'guid'           => $image_data['url'],
