Hello
Does anybody have an idea about the Aprolo app? Is this an approved app by Amazon? if any seller is already using this app, kindly share the experience.

Not the correct way to try drop shipping. This will get you suspended real quick.

The app is not the important part of your post.
The word dropshipping is the keyword.
Fast track to suspension.
Drop shipping is allowed on Amazon. But only when done in the proscribed manner. Which would not be achieved with an app.

You have been on Amazon for at least a little while and on the forum as well.
Have you read NOTHING about dropshipping and sourcing items on here?
Since you may have missed some things in Seller U (IF you looked at it at all) here are some basics so that your next post is NOT "please help with my Section 3 suspension" -- which is where you are headed currently as others have noted.
The first question is -- Are you authorized IN WRITING by the BRAND to sell their items on Amazon?
More and more brands have provided a "whitelist" of their approved sellers and if YOU are NOT on the list you will be stopped in your tracks and probably hit with an IP violation.
The second (and probably more important) question is -- Where are you sourcing your products? Are you buying direct from the brand or through an AUTHORIZED wholesale source?
There are a LOT of FAKE wholesalers out there ranging from places like Sam's Club, Costco. BJs Wholesale and others to all those Gray market providers touted on TikTok, Twitter, YouTube and other places. AND there are places like Ali#$#$ that sell counterfeits and knockoffs.
Any of the guys mentioned have resulted in so many account suspensions that it is impossible to count the number.
When Amazon says in Seller U to use an Authorized Reseller they mean an AUTHORIZED (by the BRAND) Wholesale Distributor – NOT some random wholesale distributor that has “thousands of brands” in stock but is NOT authorized by the brand.
Here is an Amazon MOD response to another post with similar issues. I share this because a FEW people don’t believe in needing permission to sell from the BRAND.
“Hello @Photo1,
My name is Dougal from the Community Manager Team. This can be a difficult topic to navigate so I appreciate you posting here in case others have the same or a similar question.
Thanks to @NEVERLAST and @Brigittefor providing assistance and I don't have much more to add other than restating that you need the Brand Owner's approval to sell their brand. I also want to provide you the help page on why a letter of authorization is needed and what should be included in it: Letter of Authorization.
Hope this helps and please let us know if you have any other questions.
Best,
Dougal”
NOTE -- I AM NOT DOUGAL. I am quoting what he responded to on a different post regarding the same type issue.

Others have given good advice.
I will note that an app alone is not going to make a successful selling experience on Amazon.
In Addition to making sure you have permission from the brand to list on Amazon.....
You need to make sure YOU understand the Amazon Drop shipping policy and then you will need to make sure that all your suppliers follow that drop shipping policy for you.
Simply using an app or service to link your orders from amazon to some drop ship service company that says they can handle all your Amazon listings etc, is likely a quick way to wind up with your account suspended.
Heck, I have even heard of apps listed in Amazon's preferred partner app listings that were very obviously breaking Amazon Policies right in the advertising right on Amazon's preferred partner listings and it took some one here on the forum flagging it for the Moderators to get Amazon to pull them.
Don't be too trusting of any advertising that seems too good to be true. Read their fine print and get them to explain how they handle everything. Get them to explain how they package things, what return address is on the packaging and packing slip. Who the seller is listing on the packaging and packing slip. What sort of Invoices they provide. etc etc.
And if the company is NOT an Authorized wholesale distributor (authorized by every brand to allow you the seller to purchase and Resell on AMAZON) then they are just in it to take your fees for a few weeks to months until your account gets suspended.

So what is Eprolo?
"Eprolo is a dropshipping platform that simplifies the importation of AliExpress products to your store."
So, the question is about drop shipping Aliexpress products.
Looks like a Tiktok based promotion.
So much wrong with this, i do not even know where to start.
What was born every minute again?
