Assigning prices in multiple currencies (gateway handles currencies)...

Hello all,

During my daily search for tasty bananas, I was wondering if there were a way to assign prices to products in multiple currencies (say dollars and euros) and have those currencies appear to the user based on their IP address (e.g. european based browsers see Euros and U.S. based browsers see dollars). 

So - *no* conversion between dollars and euros.  One price in dollars.  One price in euros. And assume the payment gateway can handle either. 

Has anyone run into this scenario?

Thank you,

Saw this post, which seems to be related - http://www.konakart.com/forum/index.php?action=printpage;topic=173.0 .  Basically, the julie suggests using the custom fields for the alternative currencies.  How does everything else interact with this (order processing, totals, etc)? 

My guess is that the best solution is have multiple products in multiple stores, each with difference currencies.

I'm open to any other ideas too.

Multiple products in multiple stores will work. The next release will have a multi currency feature (using exchange rates) where the user can search and view products in different currencies. The final payment however will be in a single currency since most payment gateways are set up to receive a singe currency.
