I am developing RubyOnRails application.

My company uses QuickBooks Online, and I would like to write some Rails code that using create customer, invoices etc..

Therefore, I created a QuickBooks IPP account (at developer.intuit.com).

Now, how do I connect/point my QuickBooks IPP account to my company's QuickBooks Online subscription?

I see from another SO question that you found the quickbooks-ruby gem but wanted to make sure this question was answered properly.

Disclaimer: I contribute regularly to the gem but that aside, it is the only gem in town for Ruby/QBO v3 integration.

Moreover, I have created a 3-part tutorial and screencast series demonstrating integrating a Rails app with the new version 3 QuickBooks API, which answers your question "how do I connect/point my QuickBooks IPP account to my company's QuickBooks Online subscription?" and many more questions to jump start a Rails (or Ruby)/ QuickBooks integration.

You need to have oauth token to communicate with your QB account.

You can follow the steps below to generate Oauth tokens.

To get consumerkey, consumerSecret and apptoken - https://developer.intuit.com/docs/0025_quickbooksapi/0010_getting_started/0010_signup

To get accessToken and accessSecret corresponding to your QBO account - https://appcenter.intuit.com/Playground/OAuth/IA/ Then download the devkit from this link - https://developer.intuit.com/docs/0025_quickbooksapi/0055_devkits

Using OAuthTokens [ consumerkye, consumerSecret, accessToken , accessSecret ] and RelamId(QBO account), you can connect to your QBO account. Using any standard gem(which I don't know now) you should construct OAuth header and make a successful call. As of now, IPP provides examples only in java/.net/PHP.

If you just want to explorer all the REST V3 APIs, then you can use ApiExplorer tool as well( It doesn't need any OAuth tokens.)
