I'm using a billing service to process subscriptions for 3 different
web applications. The service has a limitation in that in can only
post webhooks to a single URL. For me this means I have to process
webhooks for 3 separate apps at a single location before sending them
on to the correct app. Has anyone faced a similar problem? If so (or
even if not), can you provide me with some direction? Thanks!

Yes, I think what you're doing is okay. It's dealing with a problem in
the design of the billing service, or maybe how you're using it (using
a single account for 3 apps instead of one for each). Either way, I
think what you're doing is fine if you can afford another potential
point of failure, but otherwise, maybe re-examine the billing service.
If nothing else, maybe submit to *them* your issue.

I've spoken with them and cited a competitor that does exactly what I
need. I would go with the competitor but I've already invested
significant developing for the API of the first one. Yes, I could
weigh it against having to develop an add-on to deal with this issue
but I was hoping to find an easy solution.

Yep. It would be nice to see a hosted "fork" service though.

I wrote some code a long time ago that is admittedly very poor but
functional:

Maybe I should make this multi-user?
