Hello. I do understand that this question probably gets asked to hell and back but still... Is there a way to set a separate product price for each of the accepted currencies?

Let me explain my situation. A company offers certain goods to two neighboring countries which use different currencies and also have slightly different economic situations going on so the company simply can't afford to offer its goods at the same base price converted to whatever currency the country uses as it would put it out of competition with local producers. From what I understand it is currently only possible to set some custom conversion rate for currency of interest through VirtueMart currency settings but it means the same conversion rate is applied to each and every product which is also not desired.

Before that the company used custom fields to display individual prices for each currency on their product pages but obviously it only worked well when VM is used in catalog mode yet now they want people to also have possibilty to place orders so the cart functionality must be enabled and must fully account for the currency selected (through stock VM currency selector module) and it's individual price.

So, is this even possible? Where should I look at? I've tired to mess with shopper groups but there seems to be no any connection between them and what you select in the  currency selector module so that "Add new price" button on product editing page is also useless to me because even if I add new price in different currency the shop doesn't use it all and keeps calculating all prices based on the shop currency price.
