Nothing is more frustrating than being trapped in an endless loop of 'press 1 for this, press 2 for that' when you have a real problem that needs solving. Clover's automated system seems designed to wear you down. Let's find a way around it.
When the automated greeting starts, press 0 three times in quick succession. This often bypasses the menu entirely and routes to an operator.
Sometimes staying completely silent when prompted causes the system to route you to a human after multiple failed attempts to understand you.
During any automated prompt, say 'agent' or 'operator' loudly and clearly. The system may recognize this as a request for human help.
Sales teams are almost always staffed with humans. Call their sales number and ask to be transferred to support.

Try pressing 0, *, or # repeatedly. You can also try pressing 0 followed by * if single buttons don't work. Results vary by time of day and system updates.
There's no published shortcut, but pressing 0 repeatedly or saying 'representative' during prompts often helps. The system changes periodically, so what works today may not work tomorrow.
Automated systems reduce the need for human staff, saving the company money. Unfortunately, this shifts the burden to merchants who waste time navigating menus.
Clover doesn't publish direct extension numbers publicly. Your best bet for direct access is working with a provider like CapClover that gives you your rep's personal line.
