softDeleteProducts - Product Module Reference

This documentation provides a reference to the softDeleteProducts method. This belongs to the Product Module.

NoteYou should only use this methods when implementing complex customizations. For common cases, check out available workflows instead.

This method is used to delete products. Unlike the delete method, this method won't completely remove the product. It can still be accessed or retrieved using methods like retrieve if you pass the withDeleted property to the config object parameter.

The soft-deleted products can be restored using the restore method.
