From your account dashboard, click on ORDERS.

You will see a list of your orders with Pitta-Patta and  will have the option to view/download your invoice.


*Please note that in order to obtain a invoice you will need to have an account with us.

Question CAN I ORDER VIA EMAIL/PHONE?
Answer You are welcome to do so. We do prefer you order online though. The pro of ordering over the phone is that we get to speak to you as our customer, which is always nice, but the downside is that there is no paper trail and mistakes can creep in. Ordering via phone or email normally takes longer to process because inevitably we will need info and then it becomes a bit of a “ping pong”. Which brings me back to the method which is the best by far…order online.

Question HOW DO I MEASURE MY LITTLE ONE'S FEET?
AnswerSee our full size guide and a handy printout here: www.pitta-patta.com/size-guide

STAND your little one on a blank piece of paper and trace around the edge of his foot. Then measure from the big toe to heel.

ADD 7.5mm for growth and socks.

If you are worried that his/her bridge will be too high, measure (with him/her standing) from the floor on the outside of his foot, over the highest part of his bridge to the floor on the inside of his foot and add those measurements to the customer comments box.
