How to Change Base Currency for Multi-Store Site in Magento 1.9

ce-1.9.2.4currencymagento-1.9multicurrencymultistore

How can I change the Base currency for a multi store site, currently I have a site with two store different currencies, and different payment gateway that requires the base currency to be set to this own country's base currency. But the Magento admin only allows me to set base currency on Default and does not give me the option to change the base currency on the other store.

How can I have base currency set according to store?

I am using Magento CE 1.9.2.4

I will paraphrase the answer of St0iK. You can't set different base currency per store, but you can do it per website. First you have to go to the admin panel -> System -> Configuration -> CATALOG -> Catalog -> Price -> Catalog Price Scope and change it from Global to Website. Now when you go to the admin panel -> System -> Configuration -> GENERAL -> Currency Setup -> Currency Options you can change Base Currency per Website, not only for Default (Global). So you have to transfer you stores to websites and you will be able to do what you want.
