 > **Note**
 > There can be breaking changes between two versions of the public preview SDKs without a bump in the major version. Therefore we recommend pinning the package version to a specific version. This way you can install the same version each time without breaking changes unless you are intentionally looking for the latest public preview SDK.

+### Private Preview SDKs
+
+Stripe has features in the [private preview phase](https://docs.stripe.com/release-phases) that can be accessed via versions of this package that have the `-alpha.X` suffix like `25.2.0-alpha.2`. These are invite-only features. Once invited, you can install the private preview SDKs by following the same instructions as for the [public preview SDKs](https://github.com/stripe/stripe-java?tab=readme-ov-file#public-preview-sdks) above and replacing the term `beta` with `alpha`.
