Hi
I need a text area for customers to enter notes on the item they buy, i use attribute with type "text area" so customer can add text, I see it on checkout but in the order mail I see title's attribute but not the customer text. Where is my mistake?
Thank You

Hi, if you set the textarea attribute, user can set it in shop:

It is displayed in checkout:

and in administration in order:

but not in documents like invoice, etc.

Because invoice is actually a public document, displayed e.g. officials, accounting firms, etc. and the text area can include sensitive private information. So in fact such information should not be displayed in public official documents.

But if you need to display it, the easiest way to do is per customization - creating own override for following layout:
components\com_phocacart\layouts\order.php
