This method soft deletes customers by their IDs.

## Example

```ts
await customerModuleService.softDeleteCustomers(["cus_123"])
```

## Parameters

- customerIds: (\`string\`\[]) The IDs of customers.
- config: (\[SoftDeleteReturn]\(../../../interfaces/customer.SoftDeleteReturn/page.mdx)\&#60;TReturnableLinkableKeys\&#62;) An object that is used to specify an entity's related entities that should be soft-deleted when the main entity is soft-deleted.

  - returnLinkableKeys: (TReturnableLinkableKeys\[]) An array of strings, each being the ID attribute names of the entity's relations.
- sharedContext: (\[Context]\(../../../interfaces/customer.Context/page.mdx)) A context used to share resources, such as transaction manager, between the application and the module.

  - transactionManager: (TManager) An instance of a transaction manager of type \`TManager\`, which is a typed parameter passed to the context to specify the type of the \`transactionManager\`.

  - manager: (TManager) An instance of a manager, typically an entity manager, of type \`TManager\`, which is a typed parameter passed to the context to specify the type of the \`manager\`.

  - isolationLevel: (\`string\`) A string indicating the isolation level of the context. Possible values are \`READ UNCOMMITTED\`, \`READ COMMITTED\`, \`REPEATABLE READ\`, or \`SERIALIZABLE\`.

  - enableNestedTransactions: (\`boolean\`) A boolean value indicating whether nested transactions are enabled.

  - eventGroupId: (\`string\`) A string indicating the ID of the group to aggregate the events to be emitted at a later point.

  - transactionId: (\`string\`) A string indicating the ID of the current transaction.

  - runId: (\`string\`) A string indicating the ID of the current run.

  - messageAggregator: (\[IMessageAggregator]\(../../../interfaces/customer.IMessageAggregator/page.mdx)) An instance of a message aggregator, which is used to aggregate messages to be emitted at a later point.

  - requestId: (\`string\`) A string indicating the ID of the current request.

  - idempotencyKey: (\`string\`) A string indicating the idempotencyKey of the current workflow execution.

  - parentStepIdempotencyKey: (\`string\`) A string indicating the idempotencyKey of the parent workflow execution.

  - preventReleaseEvents: (\`boolean\`) preventReleaseEvents

  - isCancelling: (\`boolean\`) A boolean value indicating whether the current workflow execution is being cancelled.

  - cancelingFromParentStep: (\`boolean\`) Weither or not a sub workflow cancellation is being triggered from a parent step.
    If true, the parent step will not be triggered by the sub workflow.

## Returns

- Promise: (Promise\&#60;void \\| Record\&#60;TReturnableLinkableKeys, string\[]\&#62;\&#62;) An object that includes the IDs of related records that were also soft deleted, such as the ID of the associated address.
  The object's keys are the ID attribute names of the customer entity's relations, such as \`address\_id\`, and its value is an array of strings, each being the ID of a record associated
  with the customer through this relation, such as the IDs of associated address.

  If there are no related records, the promise resolves to \`void\`.

  - void \\| Record\&#60;TReturnableLinkableKeys, string\[]\&#62;: (\`void\` \\| \`Record\<TReturnableLinkableKeys, string\[]>\`)
