Contract law: Invitation to Treat or Offer?

In this video, I explain the main differences between a legally binding offer and an invitation to treat.

Thank you Denise, very well explained! Before, I found it difficult to understand in my engineering law module.

Most interesting. Today I saw an item for sale on a UK website at a price, there was a discount code that I had to input to achieve a more favourable price. That done the website detailed a significant discount, larger then expected. I hit the purchase buttons, instructing that the price be taken from a credit card. The apparent sale & purchase were acknowledged by email at the discounted price.

So, please correct me if I'm wrong. There was an:-
Invitation to treat.
Offer.
Acceptance of offer.
Payment in full of the agreed price of £359.64.

Then a few hours later, I received an email from the seller, cancelling the order & that monies paid via my credit card would later be refunded.

BIG question: Can I enforce the contract of sale & purchase in a UK court of law?
Can you advise please, as I do not know enough about legal stuff.

I've just done some mad searching & found phrases such as Breach of Contract &Sue for specific performance. Where do I stand legally please?
