Link Hikashop groups to Joomla groups?

I will be using a plugin in the front end called add user frontend plugin to register new users which will add them into the joomla system, if i setup groups in hikashop is there a way to link the hikashop groups to joomla groups. So for example i add a user and i assign them to a group called gold user, then when i login with that username and password it will display hikashop pertaining to gold user group which i have setup in hikashop that will show gold user's catalogue with gold user's discounted prices?
