# BillingPlan.fetchByMerchantEntitlementId

The `fetchByMerchantEntitlementId` method returns one or more `BillingPlan` objects that offer an entitlement whose ID matches the input. For example, call this method if a customer would like to see all the billing plans which grant a specific privilege on your site.

## Input

*srd*: sparse response description, a SOAP string (which must be a JSON object), in which you specify the elements you want returned.This parameter enables the calling system to constrain a `method` call to return only components you specify. This gives you greater control over returned content, and improves response time within the Vindicia platform by reducing the processing needed for the call.

Some fields are required, either practically or in the WSDL, and will be returned regardless of the *srd*. A null *srd* returns the complete response.

*merchantEntitlementId*: the merchant’s unique ID for the `Entitlement`.

## Output

*return*: an object of type `Return` that indicates the success or failure of the call.

*billingPlans*: an array of one or more `BillingPlan` objects with an entitlement whose ID matches the input.

## Returns

In addition to those listed in [The Return Object](The_Return_Object), this call returns:

| Return Code | Return String |
| - | - |
| `404` | `No BillingPlans found for entitlementId *input-merchantEntitlementId*.` |

## Example

```

$plan = new BillingPlan();

   // now load all billing plans that have an 
   // entitlement id of download $meId = 'Gold Access'; 
   // This is the id we want to retrieve plans by

$response = $plan->fetchByMerchantEntitlementId($meId);

if($response['returnCode'] == 200) {

   $fetchedPlans = $response['data']->billingPlans;

   if ($fetchedPlans != null ) {
      foreach ($fetchedPlans as $billPlan) {
         // process a fetched plan here
      }
   }
}
```
