Always Unchanging
'Gratis' never changes its form. It always stays 'gratis' regardless of whether the thing you got is masculine, feminine, singular, or plural. (It is 'invariable').
Adverb vs. Adjective
While it describes a noun (like 'free delivery'), 'gratis' functions as an adverb, describing the manner of the transaction, which is why it doesn't need to match the noun.
Adding Plural Endings
Mistake: “Las bebidas son gratises.”
Correction: Las bebidas son gratis. (Never add an -s, even if you are talking about many things.)
